Bimmerpost @ Laguna

What's Bimmerpost's plans at Laguna Seca for the M2 test? Live blogging, periscope, stealing the car etc. I ask so I can plan to spend the entire day on the site or just checking every 10 minutes. Thanks in advance

The press drive is embargoed until next Tuesday, but we'll have photos, videos, and of course a review to post once the embargo is lifted.

We can't wait!!

How about you post stuff from an alias account under the premise of "a friend sent/told me this" ?

Jason,

Can someone kindly take a quick look at the battery and confirm if it's lithium like the M4 or regular acid type ?

TunedM2C · 02-10-2016, 03:45 PM

So cool, can't wait to see some reviews!!!!

chmura · 02-10-2016, 04:16 PM

I'm happy for the first reviews. But wouldn't you think the first reviews would be biased? I doubt BMW would let a person review their car if they feel they might say negative things about the car. I am not sure what goes on backstage with these reviews nor do I know how these first reviews work. Please excuse my ignorance in this field.

I'm more interested in the later reviews that BMW does not invite over to review their car..

Just because BMW invited them wouldn't inherently mean that they can't say anything bad. If it's a respectable auto source then they will give their honest opinion.
